I also whipped my HTC Desire Z from the drawer and want to give it a new spin. Are there any snappy mods for it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustysquito:
If there any chance you can post the stuff that's necessary to root/unlock the G2 so those of us who broke the devices out of storage have a chance of getting them semi-useful again? I'd really appreicate it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I am sorry to say all I have are ROMS saved. I would search back through all the postings to see how the device was originally rooted. I actually still have my G2, it is just sitting on a shelf.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustysquito:
Dang! Oh well, it was worth a shot. I was feeling nostalgic, grabbed a few of my favorite old phones off ebay, and realized that I all of the old links to root them and make them (theoretically) usable in 2023 were dead.

Weirdly enough, my WP8.1 phone from 2015 synced right up with my Gmail and Work email accounts even though my WP10 phone wouldn't. Go figure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastlorenzo:
@dustysquito I have the same issue as you, found back my old Desire Z and wanted to give it a second life :)

Looked at this old tutorial from CM, but the links are dead: https://cyanogenmodroms.com/vision/#Rooting_the_Desire_Z

Hopefully, they have file names and I found this website that hosts the files we need: http://www.desire.tode.cz/how-to-root-htc-desire-z-g2-vision/

Below are the downloaded files with their checksum, looks like to be matching so should be safe to use:

Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.1.0

I think I have battery life under control but hard to tell so far. I've been using it too much. I did realize auto brightness is not working which may account for the screen on time killing it much faster than my n1 with amoled screen using auto brightness on cm7. So far no other issues. Calls are working fine. I haven't used gps or wifi but data is perfect.

Guess what... My new Nexus 7 has arrived!! Another device for me to wreck lol.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leikamkei:
Hello masterleron,

I just would like to say that this is a very nice Jelly Bean ROM. It runs nice and smooth, hell better than Adromadus Mimicry 1.5.0 I look forward to making this my daily driver. I like the fact that you've managed to implement the correct Straight Talk APN settings as I got accustomed to inputing them myself right after flashing a new ROM. It's gotten to the point that I memorized the actual info for the APN :/

If I may contribute any qwirks with my experience, the first one that I would like to point out is that sometimes my data just drops completely. It seems to happen most often when I press My Apps in the Play Store. Mind you, I did a squeaky clean install so I'm not sure. Also, what I'm about to say might seem ridiculous to point out, but I have a feeling the DSP manager app that you're using might be outdated. Using the same settings, which would be Slight Bass Boost on Headphones, the effect seemed to be much more noticeable on Mimicry 1.5.0

Other than that, it is a great ROM. I look forward to running this. I hope the feedback helps!

Have a good one! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.1.0

Yeah the data connection issues seem to happen with most of the jelly bean ROMS. I will update DSP Manager soon. Thanks:)

What about Russian hardware keyboard here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
I made a patched InputDevices.apk for this a while ago, just google that

UPD: this one. Flash it through Recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 350Rocket:
I had no data connection issues with this rom. Every jb rom on my N1 had those issues for me, usually just taking several minutes to get connected, then it would only rarely drop connection. For me this rom didn't seem to have an issue. I have a Bell Mobility Canadian Desire Z unlocked running on Telus Mobility in Canada if it helps at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Craven68:
Really nice rom. Usually the JB rom are smooth only after the first boot and after that they lag etc....i install this one since two days and the rom remain smooth ! :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.1.0

Go into system/app then delete it. Make sure you have root access and the system is mounted as writeable.

Haha you're better than tech support basically... anywhere! But what I mean is, I've uninstalled talk. I checked system/app and talk.apk is not there or anywhere else. However, I still get notifications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
You should try reflashing Gapps, disconnecting from Gtalk, cut notification in the app and then just desactivate from the application menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:

Feedback for this ROM :

For me, it's not smoother than the Flinny's and Fyodor AOSP. I've been on this ROMs for months. I'had better's result (It was really close) with it and some good memory adjustments with Rom Toolbox, seeder and Lafix Free. I will see if it keeps stable.

And will give a try if your Rom evolve.

Edit : it would be great to have the button to kill all the recents apps like in the CM10.1

1. Camera Flash lights up but doesn't brighten the photo, if that makes sense.

2. Storage option in Settings force closes for me.

Was getting pretty bad battery life but switched back to my nexus one as my girlfriend hates the desire z for some reason and bugs me about it (sometimes she has to pick up my phone and reply to texts for me when I'm driving and she is San iPhone user lol) anyways since I put the simcard back in the n1 and left the dz on airplane mode it has gone about 3 days and still at 100% battery lol. Only about two minutes screen on time but still impressive. Could sit for 6 months and still have charge lol.

Hi

First I would like to congratulate you on the awesome ROM!

Not a small feat for a 13yr ;)

I have a few issues with this ROM though.

The 'hard' button's light is too bright, it should be half as bright as it is right now, but I can live with that...

Some symbols are missing from the SYM key... for example the '^' maybe it could be mapped to FN + @ or something like that

Then the two quick action keys don't seem to do anything... is there a place where I can set them to do something? maybe even map the '^' to one of these

and last, and foremost actually, I don't seem to be able to tether to anything via bluetooth, and when I mean tether is internet sharing tether... I would love to see this implemented! as I use it to connect my Nexus7 to the interwebz! :p

Anyway, keep up the good work and let me know if you need anything from logs to experiment patches! :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.2.0

Yeah I've noticed about the hard keys, but we can live with it Lol.;) You can tether your Nexus via WiFi hotspot, I do. Its in "more"under wireless and networks. BTW what do you mean by quick action keys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.2.0

Does anyone know how to mod status bar for our device? The PNG files I add to systemui.apk/res/drawable hdpi appear but the battery values do not update, they stay at one percentage for ages. Any help would be nice.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Adding only PNGs to a zip archive will get you nowhere, because Android doesn't know what to do with them.

To tell it which files to use for battery icon, you need to decompile SystemUI.apk (use apktool for that) and change res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml:

This code is pretty self-explanatory. You shoud edit it, build the SystemUI again and push it to the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.2.0

OK thanks never gone. However I need the code for every percentage and charging. I have 200png files (one for every percentage and charging) so could you please provide me the code for that.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Re: [ROM][25-02-2013] AOSP - Jelly Baby - v1.2.0

Big thanks:):). From what I know of coding, that should work just fine. I'll try it out soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] reaperfromhell:
I know I can tether my Nexus using WiFi hotspot, but being an Ingress Agent I need to save every ounce of juice the battery can give me!

And bluetooth uses way less energy then WiFi... that's why I sorta need it! xD

as for the quick action buttons I mean the 1 and the 2 right next to the space bar... the ones with 3 big dots

Also I noticed something else, the gapps you provide for the ROM don't come with photosync, don't really know why...

After flashing this 'patch' it worked like a charm (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed.zip)

The thing is that now I lost the swype-left-to-the-camera when in the lock screen...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leikamkei:
If you're talking about sudden signal drop in an area where you know you have a strong signal, I think it's just a quirk that is found in all the JB ROMs for the G2 at the current moment. I experienced when I ran this ROM at v1.1, but nevertheless it's a great ROM.

Just out of curiousity, can you go to Settings, About Phone, and then tell what you have in the field of Baseband version? I don't want the entire thing, just what's after the first underscore.
